Aquatic Informatics

What Aquatic Informatics does

Aquatic Informatics (legal entity Aquatic Informatics ULC, headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia) develops software that consolidates fragmented water data into unified, compliance-ready platforms for the municipal, industrial, and environmental monitoring sectors. The company operates a portfolio of interconnected products spanning the full water cycle, including Aquarius (time-series environmental analytics), Rio (cloud-based compliance and operations, co-developed with Hach), Hach WIMS (water intelligence management), WaterTrax (water quality and wastewater compliance), Linko (FOG and pretreatment regulatory compliance with LabSync, Permit Writer, and Compliance Assistant modules), Tokay (backflow prevention with the WebTest tester portal), the Aquatic Compliance Platform (cloud-based FOG and hauled waste management with the Remote Inspector mobile tool), and HydroCorrect (machine-learning-powered QA/QC for time-series data). The platform integrates with SCADA, LIMS, GIS (ArcGIS), billing systems (Oracle), CMMS, and Hach instruments through robust APIs, and is hosted on Microsoft Azure and AWS infrastructure with ISO 27001:2022, NIST 800-53, and GDPR-aligned certifications.

The company generates revenue primarily through annual subscription licensing of its software platforms to government water agencies, municipal utilities, sanitation districts, and engineering firms, supplemented by implementation, data migration, custom integration, and training services delivered through Aquatic Academy. Distribution is dual-track: direct enterprise sales with a consultative, free-consultation-led motion, and co-selling through the Hach distribution channel and the broader Veralto Water Quality Segment, which also includes ChemTreat, OTT HydroMet, McCrometer, Sea-Bird Scientific, Trojan Technologies, and XOS. Aquatic Informatics serves 1,500-1,600+ customers in 60+ countries, with named deployments at USGS, Water Survey Canada, Miami-Dade County, Seattle Public Utilities, St. Johns River Water Management District, Sanitation District No. 1, and the Northern Territory Department of Environment (Australia). Founded in 2003 and now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Veralto, the company has expanded its portfolio through the acquisitions of Linko Technology and WaterTrax (2017), Tokay Software (2019), and Sedaru (2021).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Innovyze (Autodesk): Water infrastructure analytics and modeling software (InfoWater, InfoWorks) acquired by Autodesk. Directly competes with Aquatic Informatics in the utility water data and asset management space, serving municipal utilities with analytics and decision-support tools.
• Bentley Systems (OpenFlows / WaterSight): Infrastructure engineering software with water/hydraulic modeling and digital twin capabilities. Competes in the digital water analytics space, particularly with consulting engineering firms and large utilities that use OpenFlows alongside data management workflows.
• Trimble Water (Cityworks/Trimble Unity): Asset management and GIS-centric software for water/wastewater utilities. Overlaps with AI's compliance and operations modules, particularly for utilities looking to consolidate asset, work order, and compliance data onto a unified GIS-based platform.

Emerging players

• Klir: Cloud-based water utility management and compliance platform focused on mid-market municipalities. Competes head-on with Rio and WaterTrax in serving small-to-mid utilities needing integrated compliance, sampling, and reporting without heavy IT lift.
• Tyler Technologies (Tyler Utility Billing / Civic): Government and utility software provider with utility billing and ERP modules serving small-to-mid municipalities. Provides adjacent but overlapping functionality around utility customer and compliance data, particularly where utilities want a single ERP vendor.

Broad incumbents

• Esri (ArcGIS Utility Network / ArcGIS Online): Dominant GIS platform with vertical water utility extensions used by most large municipalities. Both complement (AI integrates with ArcGIS per Seattle case) and compete with AI on data centralization and decision support for utility workflows.
• Xylem (Idrica / Xylem Vue): Global water technology company that has built a digital water platform (Xylem Vue, Idrica) combining smart meters, analytics, and operational software. Competes broadly in the digital water space and offers overlapping utility data management capabilities.
• Suez / Veolia (Aquadvanced / Smart Water): Large water service and technology providers offering their own digital water and analytics platforms to municipal and industrial clients. Overlap with AI in compliance and operations software for utility customers.
• Itron (Itron Enterprise Software): Smart metering and utility analytics platform with water AMI and data management capabilities. Competes in adjacent utility data layers and increasingly in operational analytics for water utilities.

Others

• AVEVA (PI System): Industrial data infrastructure platform (PI System) used in water/wastewater for SCADA time-series data management. Not a direct competitor to compliance modules but a potential upstream platform that could embed or compete with AI's data integration layer.
